"Say It Right" is a single released by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado. It was written by Nelly Furtado, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Nate "Danja" Hills for Furtado's third album, "Loose" (2006). It was co-produced by Timbaland and Danja and released as the album's third single in North America and Australia (see 2006 in music). The song served as the album's fourth single in Europe and Asia, and it was released digitally in the United Kingdom in March 2007. It was the album's fifth single in Latin America. The song reached number-one in more than twenty countries including Spain, France, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.

Background, style and subject matter

The process of creating the song began in the recording studio one morning at around 4:00 a.m., when Timbaland recommended that Furtado go home because she was tired. Furtado, who had heard that the band U2 (a band she says she deeply admires) wrote many of their songs in the studio control room, said "Really? I'll show you", put on her hoodie and began to "jam".Scaggs, Austin. [http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10603268/why_is_nelly_furtados_new_album_so_loud "Why Is Nelly Furtado's New Album So Loud?"] . "Rolling Stone". June 19, 2006. Retrieved December 30, 2006.] Nate Hills and Timbaland soon joined her, writing and producing as they went, and according to Furtado, this process intensified as she sang. The team used four microphones in the live room and moved them around during recording, about which Furtado said, "...when you listen to it—there's a lot of dimension. It kind of sounds like [Timbaland is] in another country". Afterwards, they picked the best vocals and "perfected" them, before inserting "reverbs and weird alien sounds" onto them. " [W] e experimented a lot with depth and different sounds", Furtado said of the making of the song. " [It] affected my vocals a whole lot." "Say It Right" is performed with a moderate techno groove and is written in F minor. It is set in common time; in 4/4 count. The chord progression is Fm–E♭–D♭–B♭m. Furtado's vocal range spans from Ab3 to F5.

"I'm not 100 percent sure what ["Here Comes the Rain Again" is] about, but it always takes me away to another place, and I love it", she said. [http://umusic.ca/nellyfurtado/ "Nelly Furtado"] .

In fact the song deals with mystic or transcendental experiences as she explains in an interview in 2007. "It is a kind of a magical song. It has a mystery to it, that I have not quite figured out. It has a haunting twist to it." [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIA1vvDERHg Nelly Furtado in an interview] at YouTube] In other interviews she said that she does not really know what "Say It Right" is about, "but it captures the feeling I had when I wrote it, and it taps into this other sphere." In an interview for "The Sunday Times", it was mentioned that it is about her breakup with DJ Jasper Gahunia, the father of her daughter. [Cairns, Dan.

Critical reception

"Say It Right" received mixedFact|date=September 2008 reviews from critics. "Billboard" magazine called the song "a Pussycat Dolls-inspired contempo jam, high on hooks and of-the-moment production. Well done, if in the most generic sense."

He described the song as "the foundation of "Loose" and "a welcomed presence in the pop top 40".cite web|url=http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/nfsayitright.htm|title=Nelly Furtado - Say It Right|first=Bill|last=Lamb|publisher=About.com|accessdate=2007-10-10] IGN Music calls the song "...one of the brightest moments on the album" and "another throwback to the '80s" which "...lets loose with the most hypnotic chorus".cite web|last=Ptylik|first=Mark|url= http://music.ign.com/articles/713/713717p1.html|title=Loose Review |publisher=IGN|date=2007-03-27|accessdate=2007-10-10] Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine considered the song "a dark meditative piece that would have fit on [Furtado's] previous records".

Retrieved November 11, 2006.] Furtado called the video her "first action thing" since the video for her 2000 single, "I'm like a Bird", and said that it featured her experiencing what she called "a total rock-star moment. It's so iconic." The mini-feathered cocktail dress Furtado wears at the opening of the video was designed specifically for her by Australian designer Alex Perry, who said, "It's so cool because she's just undergone a bit of a revamp from what her previous image was; she's become a little more sexy and glamorous."

The clip starts with a helicopter landing on a black helipad bearing Furtado's name on top of a building, and Furtado getting out. She is shown on the roof of the building throughout the video, with the Los Angeles skyline in the background. The video features mostly face shots of her and Timbaland intercut with shots of dancers. Furtado described the clip as "a throwback to the '80s ... the more surreal side" because the shots of her and Timbaland reminded her much of those of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart in videos for Eurythmics' singles, and "the strange relationship [they] had, where ... you get this intense vibe from it. And Tim and me, we're partners, we vibe on a serious creative level, so the video captures that energy." The video ends with Furtado climbing back into the helicopter, which flies off.
